@siauciunaite “Victory, Justice, and Peace”…for the long suffering children of Israel who’ve been preemptively and violently attacked by Arabs numerous times, long before 1948, and before, occupation, displacement, settlements, State of Israel, etc were excuses for the preemptive violence by Arabs who conveniently now call themselves, Palestinian [Arabs]. We Support Israel in its right to defend itself against a terrorist organization who invaded their sovereign territory. We Support Israel in its fight to destroy Hamas. Contrary to the propaganda of St. Gabor and his Apostles, Israel is not trying to destroy the Palestinian people. We Support Israel’s right to battle the massive antisemitic and anti-Israel propaganda out there - Daniel Mate and his cult followers being just one minor example.
We respect every honest Jew. We lived and will live with them in the free Palestine. We are one and we will never forget the stand you guys took. We owe you at this needed time. I see so many Jews in protests and it makes us so proud.
@@extanegautham8950 hush because evens Zionists agree that Jews lived within Islamic empires. Also an Islamic empire ruled Israel at a period of time and this further supports the claim that Muslims, Jews and Christians lived together as Zionists alway say that Jews were always in Israel. You make Muslims as anti jew but was Hitler Muslim?
Same, every word is measured and poignant. Palestınıans love the Maté family! They speak a universal truth that makes me want to examine our own flaws in our resistance movement. Some mistakes we've made along the way, some that were impulsive or just desperate ... and some that we secretly regret, but can't say out loud bc we fear it'll give the opposition the ammunition to weaken our movement. But yes, in hushed tones, we do acknowledge the cycle of abuse and we do understand that we've inflicted pain as well - even if it is deemed justified as self-defense. We've both hurt each other, despite being so similar, despite us being semitic cousins. I want so badly to see past the vitriol and bigotry long enough to tell an Isræli that we're both trapped in a back & forth cycle, of which they absolutely hold all the power and leverage to change things so that we could both obtain peace and liberation. However, when hierarchies are involved in which one is better than the other, it's hard to convince the one in the elevated position of privilege, success, and autonomy to level both of our positions until we're equal. Few white or white-adjacent persons would willingly give up privilege in the short-term, for the longer-term benefits that creates an equitable & happier world for everyone. Through their myopic lens, that short-term privilege is a sacrifice much too great. So how do you get them to resonate in seeking peace, one that's not obtained by living isolated behind walls? It's hard to talk to someone who's distracted by their temporarily comfortable existence.

Israel will be free of the apartheid regime sooner or later and all people calling it home (jews, muslims, christians, secualrs, etc.) will live there in peace and without constant fear. I am sure you can find like minded people in your area, if not reach out to the ones in bigger cities. I am sure you will get support from them. Also don't be shy to find Palestinian supporters. I knew a couple in my class a long time ago and they were all very warm hearted. All the best to you.

It hurts badly sometimes . . . this empathy. But compared to what those little children dying under rubble taking their last breath alone, it's worth it to go as far as I can with protesting the horrors we inflict upon one another.
Sadly, your message will not reach your intended group because algorithms will promote only to people who already agree with you. As a small consolation, at least you are lucky that your family agrees with you. Imagine your own family constantly trying to educate you, call you naive for wanting peace and equality for the Palestinian people and shove Israeli hasbara down your throat. Absolute heartbreak.
If you are speaking from experience, you are a light within that family. Good for yourself, and good for them. You feel for innocent children being starved to death like Yazan Kafarneh, one of the latest children in Gaza to die of severe malnourishment as Israel blocks aid from entering the territory. You hurt when you hear of children like Hind Rajab, a 6 year old found dead in Gaza 12 days after crying for help, who pleaded for hours with the Red Crescent to rescue her, who was found dead along with several relatives and even two paramedics who tried to save her. You are a good person and the world needs you more than ever right now. I hope you find the strength to keep a brave face with the challenges you face holding onto your morality.
Yeah Yeah I do agree, the algorithm is kind of judgemental as well because I'm getting a lot of Islam related content, Ilike geez I'm talking about the humanitarian crisis not planning to convert, or revert as Muslims say. Although I still go to Israeli sites to put forward my views and challenge them to do the same.
This was incredible. I think I'm not the only one thinking that these were the words that millions of people, including non-jews, were waiting for, like water in a desert
"To be a Jew means always siding with the oppressed, and never the oppressor." - Marek Edelman, the last surviving commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. This sentiment made Mr. Edelman a political pariah in Israel, until his death in 2009.
You’re a brave and compassionate man Mr. Mate. I think that more people are changing their views about Israel and the atrocities they have committed against the Palestinian people. I’m just a German-Irish girl thankfully raised in a predominantly Jewish town in south New Jersey. I cannot imagine how lonely it feels to stand up for a cause that many people just don’t understand or wont understand. Sending love, support, admiration and understanding from Los Angeles. Happy Hanukkah to you and your family. 🙏❤️
Such powerful words. Daniel, I am always amazed when I hear you speak how you’re able to articulate what’s truly happening in the most authentic caring way. I only pray that you can reach more and more Jews around the world to open their eyes, their hearts & minds to the TRUTH the horrors committed by the occupation! May they one day stand up & cry out for freedom & human rights for Palestinians… For all people!!! ❤️🕊️💚
Mr. Mate - thank you. Your voice means everything. We all want peace for both sides. You are also correct about the propaganda coming out of the IS government. Please continue to speak up. I hope this video goes viral.
I just found this, Daniel. So eloquently well said and it needed to be said. I'm not Jewish, but my family and I had Jewish friends, and this is the modern, needed version of the consciousness I grew up with. Thank you so much. 💖
Thank you Daniel. I'm not a Jew, but that is of no import: your humanity and intelligence convince me you are one of the best of our human family. I embrace you as a brother. This, your message to the world, will do much good for all who can feel your heartfelt empathy and receive the wisdom in your words. Shalom and may you and your family receive many blessings.
Dear Daniel, the Mate's have become an integral part of my life since October 7 & I am no Jew nor Muslim, barely a Christian... besides what difference does it make?... I am but a citizen of humanity. Your values are mine I am proud to say, these values are my religion! You are a hero in standing for truth & justice & a brave one at that, your moral compass is flawless & your mere outspoken existence, a source of hope in this dark age.
Thank you so much. As a Muslimah I thank you brother. We have the same God and almost the same religion and we are both semites. Thank you for supporting Palestinians and innocents.
Grateful to God for the miracle that is you. You are the son of a Holocaust survivor. And your words today are so, so very important. As are his. As are all of ours collectively.
You and your family light a fire in my heart. I am not Jewish but I would like to say Israelism is no match for true Judaism. Keep fighting for what is right you do your ancestors and your children proud
Indeed, its a Za y0 nist project. Also we need to stop viewing "thé" Jewish "identity from a European point of view. There are worldwide Je wish communities with dufferent experiences and cultures. Unfirtunately its was mostly Europe which mistreated her J ewush communities.
I must admit that prior to the last year or so, I knew nothing about Israel/Palestine. I began to learn through Roger Waters. When I learned about the Nakba, the Settlers, etc., my thought was, these people are not Jews. Jews would be following at the very least the 'thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal'.Then I heard a Hassidic Jewish man on TH-cam voicing my same feelings. My entire life I have been around mostly Jewish people, due to the neighborhood I was raised in. I am not Jewish. My best friends were, and I haven't really thought about it up until now. I agree with it all and love listening to Daniel speak about his truth.
@@padmalaycock1612Hi. Same here. And God bless Roger Waters ❤️ I started doing research about Israel I’d say one year ago. I saw an expose video of a wealthy N.J. rabbi moving into settlements in the West Bank. I started researching, was shocked at what I found and then the Oct. 7th attack happened, and with it Israel’s outrageously non-human response. Take care. Stay well.
I don't get it. What I understood from his speech is that the jews should support Israel, but the comments are thanking him for that. Correct me if I'm wrong
Thank you for sharing your honesty and truth. In a sea of confusion and projection, your words, their meaning and intention are a beacon for all of us.
Well spoken Daniel. Your words of wisdom is soothing to the troubled heart. I am a South African Muslim that immigrated to Australia in 1979 to escape from that evil apartheid. I look forward to the day when Palestine will be free and Muslims, Jews, Christians and others will be living together in happiness and contentment. . I will immigrate to that free Palestine without hesitation and will be ecstatic to have Daniel, or other Jewish people like him, as my neighbour.
Thank you for being a beautiful soul Daniel to me it does not matter what religion you follow, but you have compassion for our brothers and sisters that’s important.that makes you who you are God bless you and your family.
Thank you Daniel for this effort and for the work you and your family contribute to understanding the reality of this very complex situation. My understanding of the essence of Jewishness is taking responsibility for your ethical and moral choices, beyond shame and guilt, and toward accountability and remedial actions. I was born in the former Soviet Union and most of my family perished in the European Holocaust. I lived in Israel as a child in the early 1960's and came to the US in the mid 1960's to be reunited with my father's surviving sibling. I started learning about the alternate view of Israel's history several years ago and it has been difficult to integrate this new information with my personal childhood memories and idealizations. "Fortunately", I don't have family left with whom I am close. I can imagine that sharing my evolving ideas about Israel would be very difficult. I think at first I would not say much but I would eventually need to "confess" when provoked and I think it would test our relationship significantly, whether it was acknowledged or not. I can imagine that those who do have close family, must be being truly tested at this time but this has always been the way that humanity progresses, one relationship at a time and then in waves.
Thank you for sharing this again. Your tenderness and clear voice together are so powerful. May your tenderness soften some barriers and let some light in. I have Jewish friends that often wouldn’t journey into the depths of their wounds with me, I am seeing some small shifts. May it continue. Thank you for your continued contribution of voice, passion and humor. I am not Jewish, but the horror that is unfolding in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel speaks to a larger untangling of many greater stories we have all been told that have kept most of us enslaved and not able to see much less care for each other. ❤❤❤
A heartfelt shalom, salaam to my brother in humanity. I have the similar sentiments towards some whom I deem to do inappropriate actions in the name of my faith, Islam. May God’s blessings continue to shine upon you.
Beautifully expressed. Your words really capture the problem faced by many diasporic communities when paths diverge. Our common humanity unites us all.
Thank you Daniel. I'm not Jewish, but your words of wisdom, insight and clarity on this incredibly divisive situation are so profound, and spell the mind of an authentic and compassionate human being. May this message of yours reach as many fellow human beings as possible ~ much love and peace from Australia...
Thank you for your hard work and courage because your words are clear and deep like an awesome river that is heading somewhere and sweeps us along in a positive direction.
Thank you Sir for your courage and your humanity most importantly. We need people like yourself on both sides to create a long lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Well said Mr Mate. Some of the most eloquent voices I’ve heard speaking out against Israel have been Jewish voices, including some Israeli Jews. They are to be commended for their bravery.
Bravo Daniel. I have been shocked to see the denial/defense of Israel, indifference to the suffering of the Palestinians, and silence of my fellow Jews in Montréal. I, like you, am feeling disgusted and disappointed with this. You made me cry. From a Jew in Montréal.
Wow Daniel, The Light & Love & Creative forces really spoke through this message. This sounds like words that The God of Love manifested in Human Hearts & Souls on Earth has spoken . 🙏
What you said at the end is so interesting. I'm from the balkans and there's a lot of ethno-nationalistic allegiances there and I've been skeptic about it for a long time.
The presence of you, your brother Aaron and your father Gabor are truly a blessing to humanity! I wish we had more men like you guys. Keep speaking the truth!
"The community that wants to claim me and that ideally I would love to be a part of has an insane world view, a world view that I just don't agree with." As an Australian, this is EXACTLY how I feel about Australia! Such profound words. Thank you for this brilliant post.
I am so relieved to hear someone shares the same values as me today. Social media was beginning to make me think I would soon be an extinct human variant. When I asked, "Is it okay to steal land if you can put it to better use?", they said, "It's not stealing if you fight for it." I started thinking this dumbing down was all planned way back. Many Americans don't have the core values we take for granted, and quite frankly, it's scary as this can't be sustained by any civilization. I feel the end is near as WWIII approaches.
Very eloquent, humble and sincere, thank you Daniel for your words of wisdom and encouragement for humanity and harmony, we will not lose hope whilst there are freedoms to be fought for, injustices to be punished and good people like you in this world.
Continue to tell the Truth ,your brother and father as well as you I support 100 percent, Alhamdulillah !!!!!!

We need Peace ☮️ This makes me so sad. I am a war survivor from Uganda and living in peace in the Netherlands. Forgiving is a solution for peace 🙏Watching from the Netherlands and i love your father. He is a emphatic man and we can learn from him. 😇🙏💚🌹
You were kidnapped by the PLO?

1. If Israel had not behaved like a terrorist State, today we would still be crying over the Israeli hostages and deaths.
2. If Israel had not responded with such a disproportionate backlash to an attack against approximately 1,200/1,300 Israeli people, killing more than 30,000 Palestinians, and injuring more than 100,000 civilians, and starving an entire Palestinian population, we would be here mourning the Israeli deaths and standing in solidarity with the Israelis .
3. I really don't understand why a Dictatorial State, such as the State of Israel at this precise moment in History, can be defined a democracy, considering the continuous failure to comply with International Law, and now, as a final step, by taking a position against the UN also, and against the 'sentence/proposal' of the ICJ (The Court of Justice - Hague) which asked Israel to stop this massacre, accepting South Africa's proposals to consider all the so-called 'provisional measures' referring to the disproportionate and inhuman counter-response by the State of Israel.
4. Let's think about after the attacks in London: so, all the Jamaincans had to be responsible for that terrorist attack?
5. What about if France had reacted the same after 'The Bataclan'?
And all those examples of the same kind!
6. If you (Israel) want to stop and capture the terrorists, you should remind yourself that Mossad failed as your Israeli dictatorship did!
Violence on Palestine is the perfect 'exemplum' of a national/nationalist/Zionist FAILURE!

Crying. So spot on. There is no turning back once one passes through that door into the world of compassion for all others.
It hurts badly sometimes . . . this empathy. But compared to what those little children dying under rubble taking their last breath alone, it's worth it to go as far as I can with protesting the horrors we inflict upon one another.
Sadly, your message will not reach your intended group because algorithms will promote only to people who already agree with you. As a small consolation, at least you are lucky that your family agrees with you. Imagine your own family constantly trying to educate you, call you naive for wanting peace and equality for the Palestinian people and shove Israeli hasbara down your throat. Absolute heartbreak.
🫂 ❤
If you are speaking from experience, you are a light within that family. Good for yourself, and good for them. You feel for innocent children being starved to death like Yazan Kafarneh, one of the latest children in Gaza to die of severe malnourishment as Israel blocks aid from entering the territory.
You hurt when you hear of children like Hind Rajab, a 6 year old found dead in Gaza 12 days after crying for help, who pleaded for hours with the Red Crescent to rescue her, who was found dead along with several relatives and even two paramedics who tried to save her.
You are a good person and the world needs you more than ever right now. I hope you find the strength to keep a brave face with the challenges you face holding onto your morality.
You are a brave soul!!!!
Yeah Yeah I do agree, the algorithm is kind of judgemental as well because I'm getting a lot of Islam related content, Ilike geez I'm talking about the humanitarian crisis not planning to convert, or revert as Muslims say.
Although I still go to Israeli sites to put forward my views and challenge them to do the same.

@@ColdCutz Sorry for not crediting, it's a quote by Immortal Technique just happens to be my favorite

This was incredible. I think I'm not the only one thinking that these were the words that millions of people, including non-jews, were waiting for, like water in a desert

"To be a Jew means always siding with the oppressed, and never the oppressor."
- Marek Edelman, the last surviving commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
This sentiment made Mr. Edelman a political pariah in Israel, until his death in 2009.
This is how I feel as someone raised Christian, towards other Christians.
Me too......as a 5 year old I could sense hypocrisy.
Same here.
Totally agree with you Thank you !!!
An honourable Man, just like his Father. Blessings be upon you
Everytime im about to lose hope and faith in humanity ppl like daniel pop up on my screen and i immediately feel better. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
God bless you, Daniel! ❤
Bless you.
You’re a brave and compassionate man Mr. Mate. I think that more people are changing their views about Israel and the atrocities they have committed against the Palestinian people. I’m just a German-Irish girl thankfully raised in a predominantly Jewish town in south New Jersey. I cannot imagine how lonely it feels to stand up for a cause that many people just don’t understand or wont understand. Sending love, support, admiration and understanding from Los Angeles. Happy Hanukkah to you and your family. 🙏❤️
Such powerful and beautifully articulated speech. Thanks for everything.
Power to you, to your father and brother. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❣️
thank you for speaking out
Such powerful words. Daniel, I am always amazed when I hear you speak how you’re able to articulate what’s truly happening in the most authentic caring way. I only pray that you can reach more and more Jews around the world to open their eyes, their hearts & minds to the TRUTH the horrors committed by the occupation! May they one day stand up & cry out for freedom & human rights for Palestinians… For all people!!! ❤️🕊️💚
As an American Jew who spent part of a life traveling I so agree with you and I feel exactly the same as you do. Thank you for speaking out.
Thank you. This means a lot to many who are neither Jew or Arab. Thank you again!
Mr. Mate - thank you. Your voice means everything. We all want peace for both sides. You are also correct about the propaganda coming out of the IS government. Please continue to speak up. I hope this video goes viral.
I loved your voice of reason with your community in this difficult time. Thank you
I just found this, Daniel. So eloquently well said and it needed to be said. I'm not Jewish, but my family and I had Jewish friends, and this is the modern, needed version of the consciousness I grew up with. Thank you so much. 💖
Thank you Daniel. I'm not a Jew, but that is of no import: your humanity and intelligence convince me you are one of the best of our human family. I embrace you as a brother. This, your message to the world, will do much good for all who can feel your heartfelt empathy and receive the wisdom in your words. Shalom and may you and your family receive many blessings.
Köszönjük szépen! Jó látni, hogy vannak emberek akiknek helyén van a szíve! Éljen Palesztina, békében!
Dear Daniel, the Mate's have become an integral part of my life since October 7 & I am no Jew nor Muslim, barely a Christian... besides what difference does it make?... I am but a citizen of humanity. Your values are mine I am proud to say, these values are my religion! You are a hero in standing for truth & justice & a brave one at that, your moral compass is flawless & your mere outspoken existence, a source of hope in this dark age.
I AM A JEW STANDING WITH YOU IN MY HEART FOR SAFETY AND SOVERIENGTY FOR ALL
Thank you!
Thank you so much. As a Muslimah I thank you brother. We have the same God and almost the same religion and we are both semites. Thank you for supporting Palestinians and innocents.
Grateful to God for the miracle that is you.
You are the son of a Holocaust survivor. And your words today are so, so very important. As are his.
As are all of ours collectively.
We love the Mate family. God bless you all. ❤
Mate family are all traumatized. They mean well but overstate and distort cases. Like father like son.
Totally agree
You and your family light a fire in my heart. I am not Jewish but I would like to say Israelism is no match for true Judaism. Keep fighting for what is right you do your ancestors and your children proud
Indeed, its a Za y0 nist project. Also we need to stop viewing "thé" Jewish "identity from a European point of view. There are worldwide Je wish communities with dufferent experiences and cultures. Unfirtunately its was mostly Europe which mistreated her J ewush communities.
I must admit that prior to the last year or so, I knew nothing about Israel/Palestine. I began to learn through Roger Waters. When I learned about the Nakba, the Settlers, etc., my thought was, these people are not Jews. Jews would be following at the very least the 'thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal'.Then I heard a Hassidic Jewish man on TH-cam voicing my same feelings. My entire life I have been around mostly Jewish people, due to the neighborhood I was raised in. I am not Jewish. My best friends were, and I haven't really thought about it up until now. I agree with it all and love listening to Daniel speak about his truth.
@@padmalaycock1612Hi. Same here. And God bless Roger Waters ❤️ I started doing research about Israel I’d say one year ago. I saw an expose video of a wealthy N.J. rabbi moving into settlements in the West Bank. I started researching, was shocked at what I found and then the Oct. 7th attack happened, and with it Israel’s outrageously non-human response. Take care. Stay well.
I don't get it. What I understood from his speech is that the jews should support Israel, but the comments are thanking him for that.
Correct me if I'm wrong
@@nanatq70Surely you jest?
Wow, this is powerful Daniel. Good work. You have a clear mind and gift of words. Thank you ❤
Your Dad and Mom did a SPECTACULAR job bringing you all up! Full Respect!!
Thank you. As a Palestinian Muslim I admire your integrity and courage.
Thank you Daniel!
Thank you for sharing your honesty and truth. In a sea of confusion and projection, your words, their meaning and intention are a beacon for all of us.
Thank you brother so much. You guys are doing more for us. Never to be forgotten....NEVER
Exceptional content. Thanks and gratitude..
Well spoken Daniel. Your words of wisdom is soothing to the troubled heart. I am a South African Muslim that immigrated to Australia in 1979 to escape from that evil apartheid. I look forward to the day when Palestine will be free and Muslims, Jews, Christians and others will be living together in happiness and contentment.
. I will immigrate to that free Palestine without hesitation and will be ecstatic to have Daniel, or other Jewish people like him, as my neighbour.
Thank you for being a beautiful soul Daniel to me it does not matter what religion you follow, but you have
compassion for our brothers and sisters that’s important.that makes you who you are God bless you and your family.
Give your dad a hug for me...he was a very successful father.
probably your mom, too.
they contributed to life.
These videos restore my sanity after each day of bad news.
Thank you Daniel for this effort and for the work you and your family contribute to understanding the reality of this very complex situation. My understanding of the essence of Jewishness is taking responsibility for your ethical and moral choices, beyond shame and guilt, and toward accountability and remedial actions.
I was born in the former Soviet Union and most of my family perished in the European Holocaust. I lived in Israel as a child in the early 1960's and came to the US in the mid 1960's to be reunited with my father's surviving sibling. I started learning about the alternate view of Israel's history several years ago and it has been difficult to integrate this new information with my personal childhood memories and idealizations.
"Fortunately", I don't have family left with whom I am close. I can imagine that sharing my evolving ideas about Israel would be very difficult. I think at first I would not say much but I would eventually need to "confess" when provoked and I think it would test our relationship significantly, whether it was acknowledged or not. I can imagine that those who do have close family, must be being truly tested at this time but this has always been the way that humanity progresses, one relationship at a time and then in waves.
You are absolutely awesome! 🙏🏼
Heartwarming and uplifting, thank you 💕
Thankyou for your kind words❤
im not jewish but this message resonates with me heart and soul. Tears flow
Thank you ❣️
Brilliant speech, given without any note, coming from the depth of his heart. It brought me tears.
Much respect to you brother and to all Jews who stick with their human Jewish values no killing no stealing no dehumanizing others.
we got to brace ourselves, the worst is yet to come which might sound crazy considering what has already happened
Thank you for sharing this again. Your tenderness and clear voice together are so powerful.
May your tenderness soften some barriers and let some light in.
I have Jewish friends that often wouldn’t journey into the depths of their wounds with me, I am seeing some small shifts. May it continue.
Thank you for your continued contribution of voice, passion and humor.
I am not Jewish, but the horror that is unfolding in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel speaks to a larger untangling of many greater stories we have all been told that have kept most of us enslaved and not able to see much less care for each other.
❤❤❤
A heartfelt shalom, salaam to my brother in humanity. I have the similar sentiments towards some whom I deem to do inappropriate actions in the name of my faith, Islam. May God’s blessings continue to shine upon you.
I love you brotha❤... We are brothers in humanity and love... Truth,courage, justice and freedom will always win in the end...
Powerful message. Thank you. I hope it makes its way to the ears and hearts you intended it for.
Beautifully expressed. Your words really capture the problem faced by many diasporic communities when paths diverge. Our common humanity unites us all.
Thanks for your insightful and deep thoughts in support of humanity.
"boy, oh boy, does it hurt to go against the loved ones". This is what the Torah calls the circumcision of the heart.
Thank you Daniel. I'm not Jewish, but your words of wisdom, insight and clarity on this incredibly divisive situation are so profound, and spell the mind of an authentic and compassionate human being. May this message of yours reach as many fellow human beings as possible ~ much love and peace from Australia...
Those who seek the truth shall find it. Falseness is never rewarded with peace ❤
Great words ...thankyou Daniel
Very profound words. Thank you
Thank you for your hard work and courage because your words are clear and deep like an awesome river that is heading somewhere and sweeps us along in a positive direction.
Thank you Daniel ♥
God bless you
Thank you Sir for your courage and your humanity most importantly. We need people like yourself on both sides to create a long lasting peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis.
Well said Mr Mate. Some of the most eloquent voices I’ve heard speaking out against Israel have been Jewish voices, including some Israeli Jews. They are to be commended for their bravery.
You’re a noble human being. Your whole family are. May God Keep you All in Good stead.
Bravo Daniel. I have been shocked to see the denial/defense of Israel, indifference to the suffering of the Palestinians, and silence of my fellow Jews in Montréal. I, like you, am feeling disgusted and disappointed with this. You made me cry. From a Jew in Montréal.
Truth will always prevail. Thank you sir for speaking
Wow Daniel,
The Light & Love & Creative forces really spoke through this message. This sounds like words that The God of Love manifested in Human Hearts & Souls on Earth has spoken . 🙏
What you said at the end is so interesting. I'm from the balkans and there's a lot of ethno-nationalistic allegiances there and I've been skeptic about it for a long time.
Thanks for speaking from the heart Daniel.
The presence of you, your brother Aaron and your father Gabor are truly a blessing to humanity! I wish we had more men like you guys. Keep speaking the truth!
"The community that wants to claim me and that ideally I would love to be a part of has an insane world view, a world view that I just don't agree with." As an Australian, this is EXACTLY how I feel about Australia! Such profound words. Thank you for this brilliant post.
I love you so much! You are an inspiration and I can listen to you for hours. Much love from Australia.
Excellent Honest analysis !
I am so relieved to hear someone shares the same values as me today. Social media was beginning to make me think I would soon be an extinct human variant. When I asked, "Is it okay to steal land if you can put it to better use?", they said, "It's not stealing if you fight for it." I started thinking this dumbing down was all planned way back. Many Americans don't have the core values we take for granted, and quite frankly, it's scary as this can't be sustained by any civilization. I feel the end is near as WWIII approaches.
Thanks sir. You are a good person who thinks that for all humanity.
Amazing message Daniel, this is not a religion issue its an ignorance issue 🙏
Arabs never were the enemy
Thank you so much for your courage and honesty. Keep it up Daniel
Very eloquent, humble and sincere, thank you Daniel for your words of wisdom and encouragement for humanity and harmony, we will not lose hope whilst there are freedoms to be fought for, injustices to be punished and good people like you in this world.
MashaAllah a kind hearted person and very well spoken !!!
Very compelling; Daniel Mate is a beautiful human being.
